Originally from Houston, TX, Terinee Bonds made DC her home in 2010 when her husband landed a job here after grad school. Real estate runs in her family—she grew up surrounded by it, and it’s been part of her story ever since. She built her first home at 21, became a landlord at 23, and has continued to expand her experience in the industry, from owning and managing rental properties to operating and consulting on short-term rentals, wholesaling, creative financing, and beyond. Terinee’s been a licensed Realtor® in DC since 2014 and is also licensed in MD and VA.
What truly drives Terinee is her passion for helping people find a place to call home or an investment that supports their future. Whether she’s guiding a first-time homebuyer, helping clients relocate smoothly, or working on high-end luxury deals, she’s all in. Known as an expert negotiator and a lifelong learner, Terinee continuously builds on her knowledge to serve her clients with skill and confidence. Her clients know her as a warm, dedicated partner who listens closely, tailors her approach to their needs, and always has their best interests at heart. Her goal? To make each transaction seamless while fiercely advocating for her clients, ensuring they receive the best representation during one of the largest financial transactions of their lives. She aims to make the experience rewarding, going beyond the basics to provide exceptional service and peace of mind. Terinee isn’t just about transactions; she builds lasting relationships with her clients to be a resource to them for years to come.
Beyond her work with clients, Terinee serves as a productivity coach at her brokerage, where she mentors new agents to help them build strong foundations in their real estate careers. She’s also active in her real estate community, serving on the DC Association of Realtors’ Public Policy and Affordable Housing Committees and as an advisory board member for the birdSEED Foundation, a nonprofit offering grants to first-time BIPOC homebuyers in the DC area. Terinee has won numerous awards, including being recognized as a Top Agent by *Washingtonian Magazine* in 2023, and she is grateful for her loyal clients and the many referrals they send her way.
At home in Capitol Hill with her husband, Quenton, and their two cats, Bonnie & Clyde, Terinee is as down-to-earth as they come. She’s a lover of game nights, good laughs, and making genuine connections with people from all walks of life.
